One
of the defining moments of the Bugaboo Spire Centennial Climb Project
when the team came the closest to experiencing what it was actually
like to climb with nothing but a pair of hobnail boots and a hemp
rope tied around their waist: Garry Reiss leads a more technical
pitch of the first ascent route that follows the south ridge of
Bugaboo Spire. Modern ropes, helmets and protective gear had to be
used above this point to ensure safety of all climbers. (Part of the ongoing 16-piece exhibition at the White Museum of the Canadian Rockies.)
